Investing DO's and DON'Ts

have budget, grand ideas do come on what you want. Coloroof, Analoc Windows, Meditteranean style... Let
me stop you there. If your market is students or young callcenter agents or a family that has just started,
these people only take care of a non leaking roof, tiled floor, clean toilet and proper ventilation. Remember,
the more expensive you build, the harder to get your ROI. ROI is paramount for your next investment.
Always think about this on your head.
Construction Stage. (I am a Civil Engineer :( this advice is BAD for my profession). If you are
building a rental house that is 2 storeys or less, you do not need one! Get their services if you are building 3
floors and up. Here is a secret. Get one skilled carpenter then get 2 or more laborers. You handle the
material purchases. Get the bill of materials from your skilled carpenter on each end of the day. I will tell you
you will save as much as 40% of your construction costs. Remember these things when heading your own
project.
1. Never let your worker contract a job when you do not know how much it
really costs. Painters, Tilers will say "I'll do that for X amount". Do not budge. It is like a taxi
contracting you to your destination without the meter. Pay the laborer their daily wages.
2. Let a family member SIT while works is ongoing. Be it your dad, mom, or spouse.
They must be patient and sit watching their workers do the job, with or without experience.
Workers WILL always extend the construction schedule malingering on their works. They will do it if you
do not have someone to watch over them.
3. Secure your materials at the end of the day. Your materials might be stolen. Take
care of it.
Occupancy Rates. Your decision to give a right price for your apartment affects your profitability. For
me, I will try to price out the competition by a 510% discount on the rents. I can get renters faster. There is
no point renting your place for Php 8,000 when it is vacant for 4 months in a year (Php 64,000) rather than
renting it for Php 6,500 and your place is occupied for the whole year (Php 78,000) because the tenant
cannot get that deal nearby. Price it properly with the competition. Your ROI will depend on your skill how to
manage your apartment.
Choosing a tenant. Always ask for the tenants source of income! it is your right as a landlord, and
how many family members are there for the tenant to support. Always gauge the capacity of the renter to
pay you faithfully. Another. If you think there is something WRONG with the attitude of the tenant, for
whatever reason it may be, be wary of it before you sign the contract with them. There are some people that
never go well along together and this applies to the lessee lessor agreement. Forgetting to take note of
this will make you suffer for a year
As a Landlord
1. Never accept more than 7 days delay on payment. Remind and give a stern warning that payment must
be done on time take note of the deposit (No. 3). The less strict you are, the more they will delay the
payment and the more they will create excuses. Remember you outpriced the rent of the market by a small
portion? You will always have a replacement if your price and marketing strategy is good (posters on
intersections of your block). Evict them if they show signs that they cannot pay.
2. Take pictures of the apartment before the tenants move in then email the pictures to the tenant. Retrieve
your email in the future if your tenant leaves to check if they have damaged anything. Deduct the damages
to the deposit.
3. Put in your contract that the tenant CANNOT use his one month deposit. Your deposit is there for you to
claim in case they have outstanding electric or water charges.
4. Take note of the electric meter and water meter number before the tenant starts and when the tenants
leave. Prorate the bills accordingly.
Experience is the Best Teacher
My parents consulted to me a renter that pays high, but the attitude is apparently quite bad. I told them to
return the deposit yet they refused to do so. The renter proved to be a living hell to my parents. Be wary of
my experience.
I had another tenant that tampered my electric meter that is under my mom's name. Guess what? My mom
received a Php 650,000 bill when the meter was captured by Meralco. I have now the meters under my
name because my mom's credit record is now compromised. Hard to apprehend the renter, he is an ex
police. My meters are now sealed with metal bars and under my name.
And lastly, show integrity and resolve when you are renting out. There will always be scratches or failed
bulbs when the tenant leaves. These are normal wear and tear. Don't be too fussy deducting everything on
the deposit. Best of all, return the deposit after all rightful deductions are made. I believe that luck is always
on the side of the businessman if you demonstrate morality on your ventures.
